Matthew J. Gurka, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Community Medicine and the Interim Chair of the Department of Biostatistics in the emerging School of Public Health, talks about Biostatistics.
Biostatistics is the science of applying statistical theory and principles to research in medicine, biology, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, public health, and other related fields.
Biostatisticians are an integral part of medical and public health research. They assist in the design of research studies, analyze data from those studies, participate in governmental advisory or policymaking boards, and train researchers in good statistical practice. Some also develop new statistical methods useful in collaborative research.
Biostatisticians work in a variety of settings, including pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, government agencies, public health departments, research institutions, and international health agencies.
Biostatisticians can look forward to excellent career opportunities in industry, government, and academia. Upper salary ranges for MPH graduates in Biostatistics can reach six figures .
By choosing WVU, you will be selecting a small but growing department with easy access to a young and energetic group of faculty members. The Biostatistics program places a heavy emphasis on practical experiences with many opportunities for real collaboration in a number of scientific fields across the University.
